1985 Hans Christian 36

Design Heritage The Hans Christian 36 is a highly respected blue water cruising yacht. She is often described as strong, forgiving, safe, and comfortable, which explains why she is favoured by many offshore sailors. Over the years, the Hans Christian 36 has completed numerous notable passages. For that reason, she remains a sought-after design among serious long-distance cruisers. Hull and Construction The Hans Christian 36 was built with offshore strength in mind. Her solid construction provides reassurance when conditions deteriorate. Because of this, owners often comment on how secure and predictable she feels at sea. Rig and Sailing Performance The yacht is fitted with a cutter rig, which offers flexibility and balance under sail. This allows sail combinations to be adjusted easily as conditions change. As a result, sail handling remains manageable during longer passages and short-handed sailing. Accommodation Layout Below deck, the Hans Christian 36 offers good accommodation for extended time aboard. The layout feels practical and secure, while still remaining comfortable. This makes her well suited to both passage making and life at anchor. Interior Atmosphere One of the highlights of this design is the interior ambiance. The spacious and airy saloon, combined with high-quality woodwork throughout, creates a warm and welcoming environment. At the same time, the joinery feels solid and purposeful, reflecting the yacht’s offshore focus. Comfort and Liveability The Hans Christian 36 is designed to remain comfortable at sea as well as in harbour. Storage, layout, and proportions all support longer stays aboard. Because of this, she works equally well as a liveaboard or extended cruising yacht. Blue Water Capability Overall, this yacht is built for safe and comfortable passage making. Her design and construction support genuine blue water capability, which gives confidence when planning offshore routes. This is exactly what has made the Hans Christian 36 so highly regarded. Condition and Location ‘Ally Pally’ is a very good example of the Hans Christian 36 and presents well throughout. She is currently afloat at King Point Marina, Plymouth, and is available for viewing by appointment.
